WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The President
yesterday vetoed two Senate private pen
sion bills. One them, bill granting pen
sion to John D. Fincher, whose claim had
once been rejected by the Pension Office,

continued ity is inconclusive; and
the other, granting a pension to Rachel

by the Pension Bureau at precisely the
same rates proposed in the vetoed bill.

from the time of filing the application, in

date only from the time of its pa ssage, an
so sin the interest Of the beneficiary ano

THE GERMAN ELECTIONS.

The Government Successful, But With q
Rather Circumscribed Margin-rhe So
cialsts Show Substantial Gains - Many
Second Ballots Required.
BERLIN, Feb. 22.-ln the Fourth division
of this city, Singer, Socialist, received
2S,956; Evers, Septennist. 1871, and Prof.
Hamel, new German Liberal, 9,242. In
the Sixth division Hasenciever, Socialist,
received 3),457; Holtz, Septennist, l6 $751;
and Grelling, new German Liberal, II, 1853
The net result Of the Berlin
voting is as follows: Socialist, 80, ,SO7,
gain Of $4,000; Septennist,
69,S7S; new German Liberal, 65,SS4 The
Government party have gained 1900
votes, and the new German Liberals have
losS-5,000 The returns from the provinces
show losses by the new German Liberals.
Herr Richter's organ, the Freisi,tige
Zeitung consoles the party by declaring

disasters. This, however, is not
exactly the case. Combined,

elected Antern, the anti-German. Slegen
returned Stocker A feature OF
the elections is the unusual
number of second ballots necessary, fact
which proves the closeness of the CON
tests. The result in Hamburg is triumph
for the Social Democrats, two of whose
candidates are returned by large majorl-
ties In the third Hamburg division the
Socialistic candidate is ahead, but the sec
ond ballot is necessary.

lin division show that Wolff, Septennist,
received 1852 votes; Virchow, new Ger
man Liberal, Is, 702 and the Socialist can
didate 1869 The prospects OF the sue
cess of the Septennists are good. Inc
formidable increase in the number
of Socialists throughout the en-
pire is prominent fact. During
the day all the approaches to the
palaces of Emperor William. Crown
Prince Frederick William and Prince
